How to Recognize Good Green Dating Sites
I've noticed a whole bunch of new green dating sites populating the internet recently, all trying to capitalize on the green / eco-friendly movement. Many of these sites are essentially generic templates that just have a redesigned facade slapped on the front, while the membership database is shared with hundreds of other template sites and their members.

As an eco-friendly person interested in online dating, it's hard to know which sites are genuine and which are just trying to rope you in for a subscription fee. Luckily there are a few tell-tale signs that let you know what you're dealing with.

Does the site have a blog?
This is probably the best way to tell how genuine a site is. Blogs take time and need to be written by somebody on a regular basis, and need to be on a subject matter of interest to the site's audience. This isn't to say that a site without a blog is definitely bogus, but a site...

1000 Gardens Project – Keeping it Local

Buying local and living lightly on our Mother Earth has always been important to me. For a long time I have felt deeply inspired to give back to my community and have been searching for a way to do this. In the Fall of 2008 I co-founded a grassroots movement in the Ozarks. The 1000 Gardens...

Whole Travel for your Eco Travel Plans
Single eco-travelers, here's a new resource for you online to research and book your next green, eco-friendly or sustainable adventure. The eco end of the travel market has been ignored by aggregators and portals who favor across-the-board approaches to booking. But now there's Whole Travel, a new and very easy to use site specifically for green travel.



Whole Travel says they have the most complete collection of green hotels and resorts around the world and you can make your bookings right from the site. You usually get the best prices rather than going to the hotel itself.

The homepage has a text entry box labeled "What's your travel inspiration?" We entered "tropical beach" and got results from India, Sri Lanka, Samoa and Costa Rica (along with a lot more), each recognized for their own style of...

Are Cooked Foods Bad For You

This is an article I recently found (http://www.innvista.com/health/nutrition/amino/pdamage.htm) saying that heating any food causes it to lose its nutritional value, and in many cases adds dangerous carcinogens that are harmful to your health.

I'd be very interested in hearing from Raw Food eaters about their experiences and any studies they might be familiar with regarding the issues raised in the article.

Protein Damage Through Heating

Protein structure is altered during heating; and, since most people do not eat their meat or eggs raw, this is a major factor to consider. Evidence is mounting indicating that heated animal protein may be a significant factor in coronary thrombosis since it reportedly causes a shortening of both the blood clotting time and the platelet clumping time. The amino acids in eggs are coagulated by heat and thereby lost to the body. Eggs also contain sulphur, which puts a heavy strain on the liver...

New Eco Friendly Pizza Box
This is what happens when smart people get good ideas about everyday things - here is a newly designed green pizza box by ECO Inc. that uses 100% recycled materials and has some awesome practical features.



The Green Box looks like any other ordinary pizza box except when you look closely. The top is removable and can be separated into 4 cardboard plates for a slice of pizza, and the bottom converts into a storage container that can actually fit into your fridge. The entire box can be folded and placed in a recycle bin without the awkward stuffing and finagling that goes with traditional pizza boxes.

Use it for your next green date!

A Letter to the EcoDater Community
October 1st, 2009

Hello EcoDaters,


I hope I'm catching you at a good time. There's a few things I want to share with you that are best received in a good state of mind.

EcoDater is about 6 months old now and is rapidly approaching 1,000 members. I personally review and approve every new profile, weeding out the crap and ensuring that our community is populated with good, earnest and genuine people.

And we have some great people here! I've been in touch with many of you, and you guys have really impressed me with your ambition, intelligence and willingness to help. I thought it was a good time now to tell you more about me and the EcoDater story. I've been asking all of you to share of yourselves, so I thought it was a good call for to me to follow my own intentions.

My name is Ryel. I created and run EcoDater. I live in Denver where I'm happily...

Rural Kansas Town Goes Eco Friendly
Try to think of the most unlikely place in the US where an entire town becomes completely green and sustainable. Somewhere rural, somewhere populated with conservative, Republican-voting oil or farm people. Maybe somewhere in the middle of Kansas?



Well, welcome to Greensburg, population 1,574 and perhaps THE greenest community in the country. After a tornado wiped out almost the entire town in May of 2007 (see destruction above), city leaders worked with state and national representatives to rebuild the town in a sustainable fashion. A nonprofit organization was formed and the city council passed an ordinance that all new structures would have to meet stringent LEED certification standards.

Using Feng Shui to Create Sustainable Love
This is a guest post by Katy Allgeyer, Feng Shui master and blogger over at the Feng Shui by Fish Girl blog (http://fengshuibyfishgirl.com). Katy's bio is below the post.



The placement of furniture and arranging space is important to good feng shui. Creating a balanced, beautiful space for love to flourish is key. Here are some ideas you can put into practice immediately to strengthen an existing love relationship (or attract the opportunity to meet a new love if you are available and open to one).

- Have two matching bedside tables and matching lamps. Having two of a kind symbolizes equality and a balanced love relationship. If one table and accessories is dominant over the other, that represents similar disharmony in the relationship.
- Place your...

The Nutritional Research of Dr Weston Price
It's astounding that more people, green singles especially, haven't heard of Dr Weston Price or his incredibly important research. Dr Price was originally a dentist who began seeing severe tooth decay among children in the 1920s when processed sugars were being consumed in record amounts.


He then launched a decade-long research phase in which he traveled all over the world studying indigenous tribes, from the Eskimos of Canada to the island tribes of the South Pacific, studying the role that traditional diets played in protecting them against diseases and physical malformations so commonly seen in the developed world.

His research demonstrated that an adherence to a traditional diet, with a heavy reliance on animal meat and fat, fermented foods and raw fruits and vegetables, united all these various tribes in a picture of...
